My great accomplishment yesterday was reducing the number of open tabs in my browser from 168 to 92.

I’ve read a lot of tab complaints like this over the years, but I’ve never quite understood them. Once you open up more than 20 or 30 tabs, there’s not enough screen space to identify them even with a tiny icon (see below). So they’re completely blank. Do people keep opening up tabs anyway, even though they’re just tiny slivers that are totally unidentifiable? Or do they use add-ins of some kind that allow you to open lots of tabs but still retain some kind of minimal ID?

Just curious. Somehow I always feel like I’m missing something obvious when I read someone blogging or tweeting about this.

“Lying.” “Disgusting.” “Scum.” “Slime.” “Corrupt.” “Enemy of the people.” Donald Trump has always made clear what he thinks of journalists. And it’s plain now that his administration intends to do everything it can to stop journalists from reporting things they don’t like—which is most things that are true.

No one gets to tell Mother Jones what to publish or not publish, because no one owns our fiercely independent newsroom. But that also means we need to directly raise the resources it takes to keep our journalism alive. There’s only one way for that to happen, and it’s readers like you stepping up. Please help with a donation today if you can—even a few bucks will make a real difference. A monthly gift would be incredible.
